| Another Lie

His bright smile,
His gray eyes.

I close my eyes,
To forget his violence.

He and I,
Mean nothing to one another.

He and I,
Never had anything.

But he hurt me,
Punched me,
Whipped me,
Over and again,
Caused me pain on a brink of death,
Only to leave me hanging with a single breath,
Only to keep me alive for more rounds,
Of more violence and pain.

I cannot forget.

Cannot forget...

Then,
He was gone.

But I can no longer move,
Alone in this lonely scary place.

Thud, thud, thud...

I hear footsteps approach.

I feel immense fear,
Wishing I could die.

Thud, thud— thud—

"You survived. How very strange.
Here I thought he'd really gone and killed you by now.
"

Such cold words,
Cold voice,
So different from before.

Xyro.

Are you another lie?
